Encapsulation and Polymerisation of White Phosphorus Inside Single-wall Carbon Nanotubes
Single-walled carbon nanotubes have been used to encapsulate many types of materials since their discovery, but now other nanostructured phosphorus allotropes are attracting considerable attention as well. The white phosphorus allotrope, which consists of tetrahedral...
Evidence of topological excitations in a quantum magnet
Condensed matter physics is the study of the multitude of ways that matter can organise itself. In each phase as conventionally understood, be it a magnet, metal, superconductor or something else, it is possible to characterise the phase by looking at the system...
